£ 3,099.00Atkin LG-47 Sunburst Relic Finish Acoustic...
This Atkin is inspired by Gibson's LG series of guitars, and it sounds phenomenal. It is a relic'd guitar, but not to the point of excess; the guitar still shines. There's a big old Gibson thump to this guy, and there's a classic bluesy twang there too. Rather special, all in all.

£ 2,999.00Atkin D-37 Acoustic Guitar
We've been huge fans of Atkin for a while here at Forsyths and the 37 models are always fantastic.

What you have here is a professional...

£ 1,769.00Eastman E20D-TC Acoustic Guitar
If you squint your eyes, you could easily confuse this guitar with a D-28. Another great guitar from Eastman, with a solid thermo-cured adirondack spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides. The thermo cured bit means they've dried out the top, giving better projection and a guitar that sounds played in already. It's amazing.

£ 1,599.00Eastman E10OM-TC Thermo Cured Acoustic Guitar
A thermo cured top means that the wood has been baked at a specific temperature for a prolonged period of time to get rid of the oils and water from the wood - the result is that this guitar sounds more matured, louder and with a much better bass response. With a solid adirondack spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, you get a fantastically...
